The best of ‘bel’ .. and kids too!

Matendla School Class 9 students, R. Venkatesh & R. Navitha took some the bael of bel fruits ( Maredu) for using like gum. The fruit found abundantly in the area provided a local, economical and resourceful substitute for expensive, commercial gum. This has proved invaluable to the school. They have also learnt how the fruit is used in ayurvedic medicine – another natural option available at hand!
